Resting her head on her hand, a dreamy figure lets her thoughts drift beyond the frame. Her closed eyes seem to listen to an inner whisper, while her simple, pure form blends into a world of shapes and colors. Behind her, an unusual bouquet rises from a dark vase, its boldly curved leaves recalling the organic forms invented by nature. Further back, broad fields of color create an almost abstract backdrop: a concentric circle like an inner sun, wavy lines like a breath of wind, and light spots that float as if they were seeds carried through the air.

This coloring page is inspired by the art of Henri Matisse, master of the "cut-out." In his later years, as he grew older and physically weakened, Matisse could no longer paint in the same way. He then invented a new way of creating: cutting directly into sheets of colored paper and assembling the fragments into vast compositions. He called this "painting with scissors." Born from a limitation, this technique became for him an immense space of freedom, where the simplicity of shapes and the power of colors replaced the brush. Here, the human figure, distilled to its essence, converses with a world of stylized forms that seem to float around her like colorful thoughts.

To bring this drawing to life, you can draw inspiration from Matisse's vibrant and contrasting palette: sunlit orange, bright pink, deep blue, olive green... Or you can invent your own range, blending soft tones with bold accents to make each shape dance within your composition. Like Matisse, let your colors express emotions and turn this still moment into an inner journey.
